Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD? There they are in great fear, for God is with the generation of the righteous. You shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge. -Psalm 14:4-6

God’s Word divides the whole human race into two portions. There is the seed of the serpent, and the seed of the woman-the children of God, and the children of the devil-those who are by nature still what they always were, and those who have been begotten again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. There are many distinctions among men, but they are not much more than surface-deep. This one distinction, however, goes right through, and it is very deep. I may say that between the two classes, the saved and the unsaved, there is a great gulf fixed. There is as wide a difference between the righteous and the wicked as there is between the living and the dead…Now from the very first, between the two seeds there has always been an enmity-an enmity which has never been mitigated, and never will. It displays itself in various ways, but it is always there…The fool hath made a mock of the righteous man, and this has been the subject of his mockery, that the godly man has been fool enough as he calls him, to put his trust in God, and to make this the main point and purpose of his life. There may be some here who have done this; all of us do it to some extent until we are new-born. We ridicule, if not with the tongue, yet in our heart, those who have made God their refuge, for when we begin to value the people of God, it is a sign of some degree of grace in us: “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren”; but until we come into that state of grace there is a hatred or contempt, more or less developed, against those who are resting in the living God. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
